Would this fan work well for a 4' x 8' grow tent with two 600W lights in cool tubes?

im using a 4 inch inline fan i bought at htg for 1 600w hps in a 4x4x7 and it isn't cutting it ( temps in the 80's) so with 2x 600w you might need something better than this

This fan puts out a lot of air flow - I use it to vent humidity from my home's basement. For that volume you may want to a "duct booster" fan which has a quarter of the air flow.

I would not. I use a 400cfm blower with a separate 250cfm booster (both 6") to keep my tomatoes from heat growth stunting & my 1 bulb is only 600w hps with a separate 400w led. Keep in mind, the air flow has to go around your 3 mogal bases slowing the air down and a carbon muffler odor scrubber that slows it down even more, in addition to the ribs of flex ducting posing air resistance. If you try your setup out, don't be surprised if the last 1000w in the series burns up, not to mention your stunted plants/ruined.

The crossbar in the tent is more than ample support to hang HID lights from: I have a Sunleaves 8" air-cooled light fixture that is substantial in weight. And from the 2nd crossbar I am hanging a 6" Phresh active charcoal filter with a 400 CFM 6" inline fan attached. The filter-fan combo blows into the hood, then out of the tent. All is good.

As I'm sure you're aware, 1200W will heat a room above the tolerance of about anything but cactus. A relatively tiny space such as tent will require MASSIVE air moving equipment and likely the tent you choose will not have any provision for such air movement. I would strongly recommend you research the lumen/sq ft requirement of whatever you're growing. I'm currently generating about 10,000 lumens. I have 5 fans (2 to ram air in, 3 to extract) and I'm still getting a 12 degree (F) rise over the temp outside the tent. Take care and have a fire extinguisher present.

I have an 8" fan and it works fine. I'd have to check the maximum air movement, but I'm almost sure it exceeds 265 cfm.

Definitely, I hang a hood with a 400 watt light just fine. Make sure you have good airflow into and out of it to keep it from heating up.

no way. Im using it on a single 1000 watt hps with cool tube and it does the job as long as my ambient temps stay around 60-65 F. Ambient temps are really the big factor. This is a great fan though.

I have a 8 inch battery powered fan that takes 6 watts to run. This should do the trick.

this size tent. Light. 600watt switchable ballast MH/HPS bulbs. light hood with glass bottom and fan ports. I use 3 fans. 1 intake. 1 exhaust. 1 swivel fan inside on tent floor for circulation. light bulbs. 600 watt metal halide and 600watt HPS. as far as techniques and other help. I learned what I didn't already know on YouTube.

I've got a 6x24 carbon filter and fan ,,a hood with 6in cool tube and duct work coming from fan to tube..without a problem..great tent..

I used a 4" inline exhaust 100 cfm with t5 light...that was enough to keep the tent at around 80degrees or less...if you are using hps...you might need a little more pull...intake fan isn't necessary...just a small clip fan to keep the air moving

The fan runs often and is somewhat noisy. More than that, the 400 W uses up battery very quickly. If you could power your lights with a 150 W inverter, I would recommend the 150 W Tripp Lite (red) which works great and is totally silent. It did not drain down the battery so fast.

U can try but u should get a 4" blower. I used this fan on a tent blowing fresh air in and if I had any abstruction the tent would heat up and humidity would rise.

Yes. It would work out in that size tent no problem. Maybe alittle over kill if theirs such a thing... lol. 4x4x7 tent is around 112 cubic feet. The 6"fan is rated for 440 cubic feet. But are you just gonna set the filter and fan in tent , or

Maybe ....... it would depend on the watts that the fan might draw .... try to see specs before you buy and compare to watt draw of the fan

Yes, that would be no problem. It would run cooler so you can have higher wattage if you wished.

I would say yes, but it depends on how many AMPs are required to run the fan?
